Minnesota has no party registration; any registered voter may request a Republican or Democratic ballot on primary day, though this choice is recorded. A voter must indicate that they "agree with the general principles of the party" in whose primary they are voting. Minnesota has same-day voter registration.  There is a concurrent GOP Presidential primary, though at present the incumbent is the only candidate that will appear on that ballot. Minnesota has no-excuse absentee voting, beginning January 17. Possible Delay The MN Supreme Court ruled against Atlas favorite Rocky de la Fuente in a suit regarding the GOP primary that may have had the effect of delaying the DFL one as well.  As a result, the primary will go forward as scheduled on March 3. Ballot Access All major candidates will appear on the ballot. Details Groups of 16 and 10 delegates are allocated based on the statewide vote.  The CD delegates are distributed among the CDs as follows: 10 for CD 5; 8 for CD 4; 7 for CD 3; 6 for CD 2; 5 for CDs 1, 8; 4 for CDs 6, 7.

Minnesota Republican Party leaves Trump challengers off presidential primary ballot

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump will be the only choice on the ballot in Minnesota's Republican presidential primary, even though he's not the only candidate. The state Republican Party has decided voters won't have any alternatives.

Republicans in Minnesota would like to have elections the way they were conducted in the Soviet Union -- with just one name on the ballot. So Donald Trump will be the only name on the Republican primary ballot in that state.

Republicans scream a lot about socialism. But there’s no large US organization more dedicated to the ideals of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics than the GOP.

Republicans are famous for restricting voting. In this case, they don’t even want you to vote for certain Republicans.
